(Kyiv Mohyla Academy, 2023)
In “What Good is Philosophy? My Answer.,” inspired by the title of an international conference in 2023, Robert Hanna attempts to provide an answer to the conference’s titular question himself. Now, like most philosophical questions, the question, “what good is philosophy?” is in fact a complex question that should be decomposed and disentangled into several logically distinct sub-questions, for example: (i) what is the nature of philosophy?, (ii) what is the nature of “good”?, and (iii) in what way or ways could philosophy as so-defined, be good as so-defined, in our contemporary real world? Therefore, Hanna provides answers to each of those sub-questions in sequence.
You can find an accessible but also fully detailed podcast on Hanna’s “What Good is Philosophy? My Answer.,” created by Scott Heftler and other friends of Philosophy Without Borders, HERE.
